Note from Krish • Currently, DJVS does not have FCRA approval to receive foreign currency. They are trying to fill the required forms and are gathering all support documents needed by the Home ministry. Mr. Krishna Shetty, local DJVS contact person, has made several phone calls to India to clarify and provide support to the DJVS administrator in completing these forms. I believe that the forms will be submitted early March. • The 2nd installment of funding to DJVS for the 2004-2004 year is overdue. As indicated in the attached summary, DJVS has made good progress last year and is using the AshaAZ funds as specified. I suggest that we vote on this asap and find a way of sending the funds (via Asha India??) which were due in December. • DJVS will be requesting funding renewal for the 2005-2006 year. We need to arrange a site visit soon. Krishna and Gowri Shetty visited DJVS in June/July 2004 and have given us their feedback and photos; these have already been posted in the project website. • -Krish
